Would it be correct to believe that Putin shares many of Tucker Carlson's opinions? Or to believe that Brittney Griner is being held by Putin as a symbol of the things about us he hates (black, successful woman, LGBT) although the Russian people must've loved her as a basketball star? Ala Hitler and esp. Mussolini and Franco, Fascist strong men typically sell themes of machismo along w ethnic cleansing, suppression of women/LGBT. Invitably, they must sell this machismo through war. It seems very odd, but a similar Trump end game might have been invasion of "too liberal" Canada?
